Been so swamped I completely forgot to sign up this year! DOH!!!! No worries, pogiporkchop - I'm not asking to be added late. :-) Just know I will happily don elf ears wherever needed if necessary. :holiday11


For those curious: Kitty in my pic is current furbaby, Mew, curled up in a box far too small for her. Ha! "If I fits, I sleeps!"

I'd be interested to fill in, should the need arise, as well.  I'd just need to get the okay from DW, so I'd probably just need half a day's notice.  Let me know if any issues shall arise.

I ordered an ornament for the OE last night, and I am just so excited about it!  I hope the recipient loves it as much as I do.

You can add me to your volunteer elf list too.  Hopefully you won't need us  but you never know.....

 

 

Maybe the three of us should become Santa's "other helpers"  instead....... :wife:

 

....and pay the slouchers a "visit"....if ya know what I mean.....:fryingpan:

Finished my shopping on my lunch break.  I'll try to get everything wrapped up tonight and in the mail tomorrow.  EEEEK, I'm so excited!  Is it bad that I put more thought into these exchanges than I do my family gifts?  :cheesy:

Rumor has it I'm getting my first dc#... two weeks before Thanksgiving. Guess I better break out the bamboo nog and cookies again... not much of a break for the Firm!

The first numbers are in early... I think I'll start keeping track of the date now, not sure numbers have been in this early before.

OK I will be the first to post pictures. I got a nice surprise in the mail today. Thank you so much now I can try to teach myself to crochet. I have wanted to learn for years. I also got some yarn to start with and some scrapbook paper.  Thank you again.

Very nice! I love that yarn. It works up well. When it comes to crocheting, if you have any trouble, you can always look on YouTube. I have done it multiple times, lol.

Yay! First package received! (Don't start celebrating yet, my accounting firm... lots of work to do yet, get away from the bamboo nog...)
